What Does Vehicle Emission Exceeding Limits Mean?
2 Answers
Emission exceeding limits refers to a vehicle's emissions surpassing the prescribed emission standards. Currently, most regions in China implement the National V standard, while some have already adopted the National VI standard. Consequences of Excessive Vehicle Emissions: Generally, vehicles with excessive emissions are subject to fines. For example, if a motor vehicle emits pollutants exceeding the specified standards and refuses to rectify the issue within the ordered deadline, it will be fined and receive three penalty points. If a vehicle fails a random tailpipe emission inspection, the traffic police department will temporarily confiscate the vehicle's license on the spot. The owner must carry out repairs and rectifications within 7 days and can only retrieve the license upon presenting a passing re-inspection certificate. Failing the tailpipe emission test during the annual vehicle inspection is the main reason owners face penalties during the process. Reasons for Failing Tailpipe Emission Tests During Annual Vehicle Inspections: In major cities across China, many private vehicles fail tailpipe emission tests during annual inspections. There are various reasons for this failure. On one hand, the country is becoming increasingly stringent in tailpipe emission regulations. On the other hand, private vehicle owners often lack professional maintenance skills and knowledge, making it difficult to effectively address excessive emissions, which is also a significant contributing factor.
Vehicle emission exceeding limits means that the exhaust gases emitted by the car surpass the national standards. Having driven for many years, I've encountered this situation, which is usually caused by a faulty catalytic converter in the engine or poor fuel quality, leading to excessive harmful substances like carbon monoxide or nitrogen oxides in the exhaust. This can cause many troubles, such as failing the annual inspection and having to spend hundreds on repairs, or being fined for exceeding limits in the city. It's important to use good quality fuel, perform regular maintenance, change the engine oil, and clean the air filter to keep emissions cleaner. If the car suddenly emits black smoke or fuel consumption increases, immediately take it to a repair shop to check the exhaust to avoid bigger problems. Maintaining the car in good condition is key, and it also saves time and effort.
